Foreign students invited to stay on to work

Talent drive looks to bring in international students – China

By Yojana Sharma – in University World News.

China has stepped up its drive to lure overseas talent in its bid to become an innovation economy. New measures include allowing foreign students to stay on in China after their degrees to take up jobs or internships and reducing red tape around residence permits.

Japan is hiring foreign talent and it is now a top priority that international students attending Japanese universities stay on in the country, with the government offering new incentives such as subsidised company internships, help with finding jobs on graduation, stepped-up Japanese language courses and more streamlined processes for work visas after graduation.
